Any congratulations are premature. Wait until the measures save lives and see if we come through this relatively unscathed. It is to be hoped that the government will use any respite brought about by social distancing to implement a proper text and trace regime like South Korea.

As to what the leader of the Labour party may or may not be guilty of, I repeat that the party in control of the country is the Tories. Boris is at the helm. Whatever goes wrong is firmly at his door. The opposition, as has been pointed out by gloating right wingers, can do nothing of any significance. Drawing attention to anything the Labour party may say or do is nothing but noise to divert attention from the failings of the present administration.
